I rarely speak out on politics. But I wonder if anyone in the American media industry has ever watched Parliament in the UK or Australia take each other on? Or the recent brawls in Korea or Taiwan?
The recent "shout that was heard around the world" in the US Congress was a whimper compared to their antics. I think that it was improper to interrupt the President in the middle of a speech; but I don't think that it's worth the time and money being spent by lawmakers to cover their backsides. They are playing around, admonishing each other and pretending we are all civilized, when we all know the very human side of our politicians.
I think there are really big things on which you could be spending my taxpayer's money. Health. Banking. Energy reform. But not this nonsense.
So I say to Congress: Get to work or go home.
And to the news media: Get a life.
